Why Do You Say Tinubu Is Unelectable? by LordIsaac(m): 7:20am On Mar 30, 2022
In 2015, many people voted for Buhari because they thought he was just being maligned and accused wrongly. The fact speaks for itself today.

Please, if you know why we should not elect Tinubu, besides ethnic or sentimental reasons, tell us now. We cannot afford to make the same mistakes again.

Please state your facts here let us objectively and constructively interrogate them, so that together, those of us that are not moved by tribal sentiments can make the right choice.

The question, therefore, is: why is Tinubu not electable, besides being Yoruba and in APC?

You're wrong.

Nobody maligned Buhari and he wasn't accused wrongly of anything.

They voted for Buhari because they thought he was Mr Integrity.

Those that detest Tinubu are doing that because he is greater than their best.

Allow them to rant and wail as they are known for, when it's campaign time you see Tinubu records of achievement, his competency, his ruggedness, his astuteness, his courage, his patience and his commitment.

This is the truth. Many Nigerians believed he had the sort of courage, integrity and political will needed to transform Nigeria.

Alas we were wrong. We have to move on and learn from mistakes made.

OP you are a mischief-maker and another annoying troll. If not then the part in bold would be "state why you support Tinubu and why you don't ".

Instead your demand makes it obvious you want your tread to only entertain the voices of those who hate Tinubu and believe he is not "electable".

I don't know why some of you Nigerians love deception as if second nature to you. "Those of us that are not moved by tribal sentiments" my ass.

You just created a thread for haters of Tinubu, which you likely are, and you're forming objective and detribalized. Joker.

Clown. In which advanced Country have you seen the electorate ignore the leadership and administrative records/achievements of a candidate to be focusing on the symbol on his hat?

Most Nairalanders, including this OP, are jokers. You are nothing like even the least politically sophisticated member of an electorate in developed nations like the UK. Trust me, I know the difference as I have voted in UK elections.

At a time like this, with security failings obvious, a politically sophisticated electorate would note that Tinubu, proving superiority over his peers, innovately created RRS which is one of the better forces keeping Lagos relatively safe.

They would logically adduce that the man could do even greater things towards securing the entire Nigeria if he had Presidential powers.

Not so you clowns who love gossip and focusing on immature/irrelevant things. You lot are a joke . Sorry to say.

Tinubu is 70 years so his age is not in doubt. Tinubu is a Lagosian who originated from Iragbiji in the present Osun state. He belongs to the Yoruba ethnic group so is origin is not in doubt. His full name his Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Before politics, he worked in some of the best companies in the world. Arthur Andersen, GTE, Deloitte, Mobil etc. These are companies that do very serious background checks before employing anybody. If they found anything in doubt about Tinubu’s records, they wouldn’t have employed him.

You have time. All these things they know. They just want to troll mischievously and deliberately due to the fact they hate Tinubu because of his ethnic, religious, sectional and political background/successes. Did they not similarly hate Awolowo and Abiola?

Nairaland is full of the worst examples of Nigerians. Most of them are garbage that ambitious nations would reject because they are damaged goods.

All they want us to do is focus on inconsequential things while ignoring real, tangible and visible things about BAT that would show a sophisticated voter, genuinely seeking progress for his nation, that Tinubu is certainly one of the best available.

Re: Why Do You Say Tinubu Is Unelectable? by Truthisunique2: 8:12am On Mar 30, 2022
(1). Tinubu is unelectable because we don't need his brand of stomach infrastructure at federal level (jagaban rice, groundnut oil) simply because he delibrately improvishes the masses as an economic policy

(2). Tinubu is unelectable because of his dictatorship style of government, fashola as former governor don't have political structure of his own, Tinubu doesn't allow any politician in APC to have political structure, they are all under him for control, we don't need dictators as president

(3). Agbero style of government of glorifying thugs, arming them and making them a state apparatus is not needed in Nigeria

(4). Tinubu is too greedy, he controls 10% of Lagos revenue, we don't want such in Nigeria

(5). Tinubu believes only his crew is good for benefitting from state resources, his wife is perpetual senator, his son is handling all signage and billboards in Lagos, his daughter in charge of markets (we don't need people whose career only depends on government resources

(6) Tinubu is too sick and frail to lead Nigeria, his health challenge is an open secret, even his daughter attested to this, so we can't have another Buhari London sick president

(7). Tinubu is senile, how do you employ 50million youth to feed them with cassava, buhari showed this sign by calling Germany west Germany see where we are today, Tinubu have been showing this sign consistently

(8.). We don't need old people in their 70's again to run this country, we have given then enough time at governance

(9) Tinubu is an hypocrite that didn't mind fulanis killing his people and asking where are the cows. If you can't sympathize with your own people how then can you have feelings for those who are not your people/fulanis

(10). Tinubu is yet to apologize for brining in this disaster government which he shorteed
In sane climes when you shorter someone and the person defaults your assests in this case ambition is what you traded for the integrity of that person

(11). Tinubu would kill Nigerians with multiple taxation, look at Lagos taxed to use roads as tolls (owned by Tinubu associates) and you ask why Lagos can't build the roads for the people for free

(12). Tinubu is a Yoruba muslim bigot and have never hidden this, he had the guts to ask Ribadu, Atiku, Buhari to be their VP which they all turned down. Tinubu doesn't realise the constitution of this country says no side should be seen to be left out of government of which christians are majority in this country

(13). Tinubu is too desperate, just like buhari we now know that desperate people are usually pursuing government to enrich themselves, he called for the removal of GEJ only because a northernern would be his short cut to been president not because he cared that Nigeria was good or bad under GEJ, buhari is doing worst than GEJ yet he is yet to organise ojota rally

(14) Tinubu believes this nation consists of north and south west, how would we that are not members of that region benefit from his government, even now that he supposedly needs national power how many times have you seen him in the south south let's forget south east sef, if he is showing this more hatred now, how e go be when e gets the power and don't need us

(15). Tinubu says he doesn't believe in restructuring Nigeria, we would effectively have a president running inside the same messy circle as usual

(16).

Lol

If Tinubu is 70, it means he was just 40 years old when he became a Senator in 1992, and just 47 when he became Governor in 1999. It also means that in 1974 when he was given a place of honour at the crowning of the Soun Ogbomosho, he was just 22. Hmmmmmm .......

Why have we never heard Tinubu utter Iragbiji or Osun? Everyone associates Atiku with Adamawa, Peter Obi to Anambra, Wike to Rivers, Umahi to Ebonyi. Only Tinubu is associated to Lagos, a State he is not indigenous to

Those who know Tinubu from Iragbiji, never knew him as "Bola Tinubu", they call him a totally different name. Do you know what that name is?


Tinubu is just too shady, and shady people should never be elected to high office

You obviously don’t know anything about Tinubu or you’re just being mischievous.

On power, Tinubu is the first person in Nigeria to attempt to break the federal government’s monopoly in the sector. Immediately he was elected as governor, he brought in Enron, the biggest power generating company in the world as at then to build the Egbin IPP. AES later took over when Enron had problem. The project was frustrated by PDD and OBJ as they refused to allow Lagos only to enjoy the power. Instead, they keep pushing the output from the plant to the national grid. However, Tinubu set the template for the construction of IPP that we now have all over the country.

On the petroleum sector, Tinubu believes we must expand our refining capacity to meet local demands. He started the move to build a refinery in Lagos by signing the MoU for the Lekki free trade zone. He then invited investors like Dangote to take up the challenge. The Dangote refinery in Lekki is a product of that brilliant idea. That is why Dangote had to specially recognize Tinubu as the Jagaban of Nigeria during the commissioning of the Dangote fertilizer plant about a week ago.


On taxation, I’m surprised anybody can even ask this question. Tinubu met Lagos monthly IGR at N600million. He introduce so many reforms to the revenue collection system. He changed Lagos state board on internal revenue to the current LIRS and brought in Alpha beta to complement the service in area of tax payer data gathering. By the time he was leaving office, Lagos was already generating N12billion monthly and now, the state is generating about N30billion monthly. So, what else can you ask for? Federal government copied everything Tinubu did in Lagos and changed Federal board of inland revenue to the current FIRS. Even states were not left out. They all copied what Tinubu did in Lagos and some even engaged the much talked about Alpha beta to help with data gathering.

On security, Tinubu launched the Rapid Response squad immediately he was sworn in as governor. Today, RRS is the best and most equipped unit of the police force and again, it has been replicated in so many states and even the FCT. I’m sure so many of you guys don’t even know that the very popular RRS squad was Tinubu’s idea. He will do more if he becomes president.

The only reason his origins are 'in doubt' to you is because you have programmed your mind to reject available facts concerning that. Facts that refute the lies you chose to believe instead. Therefore, even in the face of overwhelming evidence you would still choose to believe your own lies. In other words, you're beyond help in that regard.

1. Power in Lagos is still awful though. Plus is your candidate going to let discos and GENCOS set their prices, not government?

2. What use is expanding refining capacity when subsidies remove whatever benefit and even stifle it?

Is Tinubu going to end wasteful subsides on petrol?

3. Lagos tax to gdp ratio is still low. What is his plan to improve taxation levels?

4. Lagos is still insecure.

Power is awful everywhere because of the way PDP sold the power assets to friends and cronies. The lasting solution is to break the monopoly of the Gencos and Discos by allowing states and other interested private investors to come into the sector. The ongoing constitution amendment is going to take care of that.

Again, no responsible government will leave the pricing of power entirely to private companies whose only interest is to make money. There will be price regulation by NERC.

Without expanding refining capacity, we will continue to import refined petroleum products with our little forex. It is a no brainer that we must stop fuel importation. Once we have the capacity to meet local demands, subsidies will be eliminated without much effect on the price. We will sell crude to Dangote in Naira and he will sell refined products to Nigerians in Naira. This will save us a lot of forex and Naira will appreciate strongly.

Someone moved Lagos IGR from N600billion to N30billion monthly and you’re still asking question about his plan to improve taxation. What else do you want? Mention one governor since 1999 who has done better in terms of improving IGR?

In 1999, Lagos was the dirtiest and most insecure state in Nigeria. Today, you can even mention Lagos among the top 15 most insecure states in Nigeria. That’s to tell you the kind of effort that has gone into improving security in the state. Lagos is not there yet but you can’t deny the progress that has been made.

1.The interest of any business is to make money. Any service they provide is to reach that end.

2.Would YOU support government telling YOU how YOU should set YOUR prices if YOU were a business owner?

3.It is because government sets the prices that power companies do not have enough money to fix things, or repair things. Because government prices are below what it costs them to produce power. And when that happens, they lose money. GENCOS and DISCOS are losing money because bad government policy.

4.I refer you to the paper 'Solving the liquidity crunch in the power sector' written by PwC. Google for it. Below is a page from the report summarizing the findings.

5.Again, would YOU allow government control your pricing if you were a businessman?

PDP's mistake was forcing the power sector to a pricing arrangement that forced it to operate at a loss.

Without expanding refining capacity, we will continue to import refined petroleum products with our little forex. It is a no brainer that we must stop fuel importation. Once we have the capacity to meet local demands, subsidies will be eliminated without much effect on the price. We will sell crude to Dangote in Naira and he will sell refined products to Nigerians in Naira. This will save us a lot of forex and Naira will appreciate strongly.

All that expansion works for nothing if government is still setting the price of petrol.

It costs, right now, more than N300 to produce one liter of fuel. If the sector is not allowed to sell it at a profit, then it would be unable to expand, or to do anything right

That's why I asked about subsidy. Subsidy is a big reason why we don't have enough refining capacity...because forcing people to sell petrol at a loss means no profit to fix things.

Again, it seems like you support price controls. Countries that do that fail.

Iran has subsidies, and huge budget deficits. Venezuela too, and Venezuela has lost most of its refining capacity from selling fuel at the equivalent of N40 per liter....

No matter how much expansion you do...so long as subsides are there, so long as we sell something that should cost N300 and above at N162, with all the corruption inherent in it...all that expansion would come to naught or be impossible.

Dangote's refinery is funded with private loans, not government money.

Someone moved Lagos IGR from N600billion to N30billion monthly and you’re still asking question about his plan to improve taxation. What else do you want? Mention one governor since 1999 who has done better in terms of improving IGR?

That’s to tell you the kind of effort that has gone into improving security in the state. Lagos is not there yet but you can’t deny the progress that has been made.

Lagos is still dirty though...as is most of Nigeria (That's another issue).

But to be honest, 600 BILLION monthly is not enough revenue for Lagos town, talkless state. Lagos needs far far more money than that. And nationally, 30% of taxable Nigerians pay taxes. Most don't.

(14) Tinubu believes this nation consists of north and south west, how would we that are not members of that region benefit from his government, even now that he supposedly needs national power how many times have you seen him in the south south let's forget south east sef, if he is showing this more hatred now, how e go be when e gets the power and don't need us

(15). Tinubu says he doesn't believe in restructuring Nigeria, we would effectively have a president running inside the same messy circle as usual

(16).


I take item 10 on your list very seriously. Thank you.

I'm thinking he wouldn't want to engage the above issues now as it would be an indictment on the incumbent. And saying anything now that will further expose the failures of this government will be tantamount to a political suicide.

In other words, it's all about getting into power, not getting things fixed.

Or wisdom.... Survival instinct? Maybe he's waiting to win the primaries first.

Whatever he says now is irrelevant because politicians mostly do opposite of what they when they get into office. We can only infer what he’s going to do based on what he did when he was in office as governor. That is why I have been demanding from the advocates of Atiku and Peter Obi to come forward and let’s discuss their achievements while in office. For those of us supporting Tinubu, we are willing to put his achievements forward for engagement and interrogation. Same should be done to other candidates.
